get up and go
« on: 01 July 2009, 11:48:45 »

Having not had to use the car much over the past 4 days  have noticed last night when i took it out for a run up the A46  the car had a lot more go ...feel as if i hardly had to move the right pedal and it was off.

After a tip from The Boy at the last meet to ( open her up more) i have been doing that  ;) ;). Looks like it help but was also wondering if the hot wether car make a car seem to run better/quicker any
way whatever it is i,m not complaining :y

it was always noticeable on a bike that it ran crisper in cold air. Warm days followed by very cool evenings  would show it the most.
Italian tune up is under rated imho.

You really can't beat a good thrash sometimes, esp with a 'cleaner' petrol or additive imho

Ran the car at about 2pm when it was 29c and again in the eveing when 22c.  Got to love the Italian Tune up  ;) ;). Before chatting with The Boy the car did not see much Spots mode use and as such was not taken towards the 6k rpm mark. Now lets just say it gets used a littel more in that rev range ;)
